Abstract

Background: Chemokines play a prominent role in inflammatory diseases. Results: Nanobodies targeting chemokines display high affinity and potently neutralize chemokine-induced receptor binding and signaling. Conclusion: Neutralizing Nanobodies targeting chemokines effectively inhibit chemokine function. Significance: Nanobodies directed against inflammatory and homeostatic chemokines form a promising new class of potent and specific inhibitors of chemokine function, to be used for research and therapeutic purposes. © 2013 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
